VI. GROUP PICTURE TAKING

Each group of descendants, starting with Andrew Jackson Stockton, was
taken. Pages of family pictures are included with this report. Hope they are
identified correctly. If not, our apologies to you. There are so many new faces I
had a hard time trying to keep track. Thanks to all those that helped identify
everyone.


VII. INVITATION

Cousin Georgeiana Stockton Lockwood, her sister Alice Burke, and their
families have graciously agreed to host our next "Stockton Reunion" in 2004.
Georgeiana lives in Missoula, Montana and the reunion will be somewhere in
that vicinity. I have already heard of plans being made to attend, so I am sure it
will be another good one. Please make every effort to attend.
( Contact Ron Stockton for Georgeiana's exact address.)

VIII. DONATIONS

A large cowboy hat, belonging to Lewis Peck, was passed for donations
for our host and hostess. This is for all the extra expenses that always show up.
We really appreciated all the work that Melvin and Dottie Stockton put into
making our time most enjoyable. It's always exciting to meet all the new
members of the Stockton descendants and see all of our cousins from past
reunions. I hope everyone had as good a time as I did. All of us "oldies" present
are 4th generation descendants, so we need all of you younger relatives to keep
involved so that one day you can carry on our tradition and keep adding new
relatives to our family.
Again, it was a genuine pleasure to be part of this past reunion. See you
in Montana if not before!
